According to the MIT Airline Data Project, American Airlines controlled 15.5% of the domestic market during a recent year. A ran

Answer:

0.0143

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to get the probability of the passenger being an American, which is 15.5% = 15.55÷100

= 0.155

Which is the probability P

The sample size n is = 155

To get the probability of the person is not on the flight, which is q

Where q is 1-P

That's

q =1 - p= 0.845

P(X < A) = P(Z < (A - mean)/standard deviation)

Our mean is given as np ( population size × probability

= 125 x 0.155

= 19.375

And the standard deviation is given as = √npq

= √ (125 x 0.155x 0.845)

=√16.3719

= 4.0462

P(10 or lesser passengers that are on the American Airline flights) is given as = P(X \ 10)

=P(Z<{(A- mean) ÷standard deviation }

We have as

= P(Z < (10.5 - 19.375)/4.0462)

= P(Z < -2.19)

= 0.0143 as the probability that 10 or fewer passengers from this sample were on American Airline flights.

Answer:

0.0143

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability that 10 or fewer passengers from a sample of MIT data project sample were on American airline flights.

We proceed as follows;

The probability that a passenger was an American flight is 15.5%= 15.55/100 = 0.155

Let’s call this probability p

The probability that he/she isn’t on the flight, let’s call this q

q =1 - p= 0.845

Sample size, n = 155

P(X < A) = P(Z < (A - mean)/standard deviation)

Mean = np

= 125 x 0.155

= 19.375

Standard deviation = √npq

= √ (125 x 0.155x 0.845)

= 4.0462

P(10 or fewer passengers were on American Airline flights) = P(X \leq 10)

= P(Z < (10.5 - 19.375)/4.0462)

= P(Z < -2.19)

= 0.0143

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) Computing the expected value E(XY) gives 1/4

b) The probability density function fZ(z) of Z = XY is calculated in the attached picture.

c) Computing E(Z) gives 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the computation of E(Z) using the answer to b), it shows that the values are equal.

Steve and Ben have some money in their wallets. If Steve gives Ben $3, Ben will have twice as much as Steve. If Ben gives Steve
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13
